O model the problem containing an unknown number, translate the statement into an equation. Sixteen is five less than a number. Which steps would you take to translate the statement? Replace "is" with =, "less than" with –, and "a number" with n to get 16 = 5 – n. Replace "is" with =, "less than" with +, and "a number" with n to get 16 = n + 5. Replace "is" with =, "less than" with –, and "a number" with n to get 16 = n – 5. Replace "is" with =, "less than" with ÷, and "a number" with n to get 16 = 5 ÷ n.

Dylan and dusty plan to take weekly surfing lessons together. if the 2-hour lessons are $20 per person and they plan to spend $100 each on new surfboards, what is the maximum number of lessons the two can take if the total amount spent for lessons and surfboards is at most $480?

Determine if the following statement is true or false. the normal curve is symmetric about its​ mean, mu. choose the best answer below. a. the statement is false. the normal curve is not symmetric about its​ mean, because the mean is the balancing point of the graph of the distribution. the median is the point where​ 50% of the area under the distribution is to the left and​ 50% to the right.​ therefore, the normal curve could only be symmetric about its​ median, not about its mean. b. the statement is true. the normal curve is a symmetric distribution with one​ peak, which means the​ mean, median, and mode are all equal.​ therefore, the normal curve is symmetric about the​ mean, mu. c. the statement is false. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, it is impossible for any distribution to be symmetric about the mean. d. the statement is true. the mean is the balancing point for the graph of a​ distribution, and​ therefore, all distributions are symmetric about the mean.
